Let me be the first to tell you that Katharine McPhee is sweet, humble, and not at all phased by the fact that she's crossed over from American Idol runner-up to a full-fledged TV star with Smash. Katharine, her husband, and two adorable chihuahuas all made me feel comfortable the instant I walked into the studio where her Glamour magazine photo shoot was being held. Was I hungry? Cold? In need of a tissue for my allergy ridden eyes? With not one "diva" bone in her body, it was so refreshing to have an open and honest conversation with a starlet like Katharine on ups and downs of show biz. You heard it here first—it IS possible to make it by staying true to yourself! read more

While our resident Smash-icionado Lauren B was consumed with the glittery drama of Dancing With the Stars last night, I was watching Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty on time for once. Or did I move in with a weird couple for an hour? It's hard to tell. read more

I love Smash. It’s set up to have such great drama, amazing cat fights, heartbreaking love triangles and spine tingling musical numbers. All the ingredients to make this show good—no, to make it amazing—are there but something is holding it back. I just feel like it needs a little push and permission to get a down, dirtier and darker. read more

We’re on week four of the NBC show Smash and I think last night, more than any other episode so far, we got a taste of the major drama that’s brewing.

So, what did you guys think of the second episode of Smash? I was hooked last week and now the show has officially become must-see TV for me. Here are the five things that happened last night that I think laid the groundwork to make this show amazing and want to know if you agree (and if you haven’t watched—there are spoilers)! read more

I've been hyped up for Smash for, oh, going on a year now. I was so excited for it last night, I resisted faceplanting into my bed the second I finished dissecting The Bachelor. So was it worth losing beauty sleep over? read more

Please tell me that your DVRs are set for tonight’s premiere of the new NBC show Smash? I’m not kidding, if they’re not, you’re going to be so sad come tomorrow when you can’t dissect every minute with all your friends and colleagues--it's that good. And if you're still not convinced, here are my five reasons why you must watch (without giving too much away!) read more

I remember when I first started hearing buzz about Glee before it aired. I just couldn’t imagine how a whole show about a school glee club could bring any drama to the table week after week. Well, obviously I was wrong and I’ve been hooked on the show ever since the pilot. And now, NBC is getting ready to roll out their musical show Smash. It has a killer cast—Debra Messing (have missed her so much since Will and Grace), Anjelica Huston (can’t go wrong with a legend on board) and former American Idol contestant Katharine McPhee (I’m psyched because I loved that taste we got of her acting chops on Community) and is all about the behind the scenes, backstage world of Broadway. read more
